Kindness, Compassion & Forgiveness

Due to 2 major moves in 1 year, I have vowed to begin my website reflections again, so here goes…

“And be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another as God has forgiven you in Christ.” Ephesians 4:32

I read this passage the other day and reflected on the powerful message this calls us to embody. On some days, kindness, compassion and forgiveness seem to flow through me, and on other days, I stumble in ways that surprise and humble me. The author of this letter to the Ephesians (most likely not Paul but someone influenced by his thought) seems to understand the need for kindness in the ancient world…I guess not much has changed in 2000 years.

“So be imitators of God, as beloved children, and live in love, as Christ loved us….” Ephesians 5:1-2
